LITTLE by little the full force of that
AustrO- Italian alliance comes before the
nations of Europe. The real nut of
that whole matter was not Bulgarian
autonomy, but the preservation of the
equilibrium OF the Mediterranean sea.
Ii was a move as old as the CrimeRn war,
to prevent Russia getting grab on the

means that Turkey is to be preserved in
violable, and that means that Russia can
not invade Bulgaria.

all Ideas, religious and secular. The
saloon is equal TO the church before the
law. In the eyes OF the state there
should be no difference. There Is a dit
ference. The state exhonerates the
church from taxation, but has no right
to do so. II should protect the Citizen
who goes to church, and the Citizen who
goes TO saloon. Equality before the law
Is the keystone OF republican govern
ment; and 1t 10 because Of this, because
all Sunday laws make inequality before
the law, that the LIGHT Is opposed them,

these facts TO the pubic, and II he be

given unto men and in no other way.
The citizen is greater than the stare.
The right Of the individual first. the
right OF the community afterward. This
must be the order because the indl-
vidual Is first in order. TO reverse this
order Is to reverse the natural sequence
Of things and anarchy follows. The
| status of the saloon has no more to do
with the question than the status Of
the moon. 1t is the question OF the
right Of individuals, who make no inter-

Honeymooners Routed Out by Mice.

Prince Bismarck S second son seems to be
distined to bring before the world a modern
disciple of the famous Piper of H.meliu.
Count Will, who, since his recent mar
risge, has exchanged his lively bachelor
amusements for retired life in some
sombre ancestral castle, has had his
honeymoon interrupted in the most pro-
sale manner by a formidable army of mice,
which infested the place from cellar to
garret, causing the greatest annoyance,
and making life almost unbearable in the
place. In the very nick of time, when,
like the locusts of Pharaoh, very griev-
Gus were they" a man presented himself
before the Count and entered into a con-
tract to the effect that he would Cause
every mouse to disappear as soon as he
was promised 100 marks in payment. No
sooner said than done; the mice vanished
as if by enchantment, but Count viii
refused to pay when the man soon after
demanded his 100 marks, on the plea
that servant had still seen one mouse
at the stables. After endeavoripg in vain
to find the last of the vanished host the
charmer once more demanded, and was
refused, payment as long aS he could not
prove the non-eyisience of the stable
mouse. In despair, he went at last be
fore the magistrates, aud his case is now
pending. Fortunately, the castle where
Count VIII is residing is situated in a
very lonely part ef tho country, where
there is but little danger of the terrible
revenge of the first famous rat catcher
being repeated.

How AlcphoI Comes in Cider.

Commonly there is alcohol in cider.
We know that is no alcohol in apples.
because they never make us tIrSy when
we eat them. but we make the cider
out OF the apples, says the objector.
True, and SO we make vinegar out of
the cider, but we do not claim that there
is vinegar in the cider, nor in the apples.
We Get apples out of the tree 10y the
process of growth, but we do not claim
that there are apples in the tree. We
make alcohol by the process of fermenta-
ton. We know that there is alcohol in
fermented cider because 1t makes those
tipsy who drink it. We eau also prove
that there is alcohol in cider by separa-
ting it by the process called dIstillation
If we try that proof we shall Iced "a
still, or we can zig up an apparatus with
teakettle, rubber tube, and a large
bottle standing III cold water Put the
termented cider i'll the teakettIe; aud
place it over the fire; then te onJ end OF
the rubber tube over the spout of the
kettle, and the other over the nose OF
the bottle standing in the cold water
Sinner the cider quietly, and see that
the steam passes into the bottle, and is
condensed. Then when a spoonful or two

move the tube, pour the liquid on a
plate. touch it with light, and it will
burn with a FAINT blue flame. This is
what is called first proof alcohol 1t is
still about half water. II you wish
it stronger, distill it again and again.
This is alcohol beyond doubt.
1t is very important that this fact
should be generally known. People who
have pad little or no attention to chem
istry are easily led to say that there must
be alcohol i'll apples, Or else we could not
make alcohol out of apples. If you boil
apples. or the fresh juice, you can distill
no alcohol from them, but let some of
the Same juice stand where it is warm a
few days, aud theu ycu can dissill alco-
hol in cider if we have made it there by
the process of fermentation. At first
there is but little; as the process goes on
there is more. From five to seven per
cent. Is common, and may go as high as
nine or ten parts i'll one hundred.

The extent to which fashion controls
the existence of large proportion of the
modern world is not less interesting than
curious. Mr.. Tyler, the learned author
OF "Primitive Culture" has brought to-
gether mass of facts illustrating the in
t1uence of convention upon the savage
mind, on what passes for it. But he ap-
pears to think that the race has outgrown
such weakness, whereas all the evidence
to be had points to quite another conclu-
sion. As "a rule, We pay little attention
to the tyranny of fashion. 1t is when it
DEGREES the general adoption of some
aabiliment or practice which is particu-
larry ugly or deforming or opposed to
hygienic laws that it becomes subject
of discussion. The fashions of women
change oitener than those of men, and
are apt to be more startling. 1t cannot
be said that they are much more defiant
of all the principles of art and common
sense, however. The women may go far
before they exceed in preposterousness
the male headgear which is vulgarly
known as the ''stOve pipe Lat, while the
masculine garb of feStivity, called even
ing dress, is graceless enough to warrant
an anthropoid ape III disowning his pos
IellIy. Leu loFeIy "OtudH, IL uluSU DC
admitted, sometimes contrlves to cause
more disturbance and trouble by her
changes of fashion than it is given to the
sterner sex to do.
The present tall hats are in point, and
as the spring and summer styles are evil
IDENTIFY intended to carry the height of
these amazing structures far beyond anJ
elevation yet inflicted upon an anguished
theatre audience during the winter, the
prospect is anything but cheering. Con.
sidering the natura! courtesy and self
sacrificing tendencies of women, the in
,juries this new fashion causes them to in.
tiict upon their innocent aud helpless
neighboIs must be regarded as striking
proof of the weight of the tyranny under
which they suffer. For that Is clearly
an overmastering influence which causes
women to 90 contrary TO all their habits
and predictions, to make of themselves
offensive nuisances in public places, and
to forget every dictate of the commonest
politeness and consideration for others.
That they should be made by fashion
quite Indifferent to the ridiculous aspects
in which they often present themselves
while obeying its despotic behests, is
perhaps not wonderful, seeing that they
keep one another in countenance. The
profound gravity with which women
parade the most astounding deformities,
the most abominable ugliness of form,
color and combination, is indeed calcuia
ted to delight the philosopher, though it
may aggravate and give point to the sar
casm of the cynic. 1t is also open to
question, from an chronological and evo-
lutiOnary point of view, whether the sur
vival in SO robust and vigorous a form of
those primitive foibles which character
lied the first emergence of our ancestors
from the barbarous condition. does not
run counter to the tiattcring self estimate
of our progress in civilization with which
we are wont to sOlace ourselves. Al bot
tom, in fact, the difference between the
dwellers on the hudson, the Thames.
the Seine and the Congo perhaps rem aims
less than we like to admit.
